Answer:

40 students/yr

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope m of a straight line is  

m = Δy/Δx = (y₂ -y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

We have two points on the line: (2010, 3430) and (2015, 3630). Then ,

m = (3630 - 3430)/(2015 - 2010) = 200/5 = 40 students/yr

In other words, the enrolment increases by 40 students each year.
